I can't say enough about my experience with the Viking Star. All excursions were great and handled well. The ship was the perfect size and offered entertainment that was just right up my alley. The food couldn't have been better and the staff was excellent. I was impressed with the captain and staff eating with the guests. The captain was visible which is a first in all the cruises I have been on. On other cruises, you have the opportunity meet the captain at a specific gathering. The room and amenities were great as well as having a veranda that was included since every room comes with one. Again, it was a great experience and I can't wait to do it again. I ate yet was able to exercise in the great spa and gym.
